The book is a comprehensive and systematic account of the principles of parliamentary government, written at a time when "both Conservatives and Lib Dems... have lost faith in the political doctrine they profess in words". have lost faith in the political doctrine they pay lip service to". The author's main concern is the danger to individual liberty arising in a pure democracy from the dominant middle classes in society: on the one hand, the mediocre mental development of the representative assembly and the public opinion that controls it, and on the other hand, the class character of the legislation of the numerical majority formed from this class. Mill sets the goal of universal representation in the parliament (not just the majority) in order to neutralize the tyranny of the majority by securing the rights of an enlightened minority.
